The poctio temperament may cover a multitude of sins, but it is not often accused of covering a multitude uf back, nor of bringing a imilli-uJe of grist to the griuders. Its presence may too often be discovered by judications of a con trary nature.

He is gifted with the poetic tempera ineut and it would be to abuse his vocation to desert it. Can he nut warm his hands at the fire of imagination, darn his clothes with the needle of his wit, wash his countenance and his lincu iu the waters of Helicon; and sitting on the peak of Parnassus devour the fried oysters of hi fancy with Appollo and the muses! Ccr-tanly he can and he dues. Hut as somebody writes, Appollo himself cannnt always be twanging with the lung bow, and even Percy Suiilax lias bis momenta of despondency which he endeavors to counteract by the cheapest Ionic iu his reach. Despising liahneinanu and homoeopathy, he opposes his disease, and sucks in coun teraction iu due proportion to the viuleuce of the case. In a stato of "counteraction," he lately wan-Avrad throuirh the streets, until ho arrived at the market where sealed on a stall, he looked, and "from his lofty seal he thus began:" "How darkly, deeply, beautifully blue not moiitif I mean the expanse of ether.

In the heavy shadow of a neighboring pillar, a dark mass appeared to move and detach itself, as if a portiou of the gloom bad hecdme suddenly animated. It stepped forth in the likeness of a man. mysteriously wrapped up, whoso eyes glar ed fiercely upon the poet. Smilax stared in ailence, and they confronted each other for tome moments without uttering a word. A dark cloud hurrying across tlie uiuun lent addi tional terror to the scene; and to the visiun of fcmilax the unknown appeared to swell to a tiinerhumao sixe. The stranger at length waved Lis arm, hemmed thrice, and in the deep tunes of one used to command, said "It's cloarly again the ordination in that case made and provided, in an act supplementary to an act additional to an act, entilod an aol fur the suppression of loafers." "Ah met what act," said the astonished Smi lax. "To fetch Yourself to an anchor on the stalls, Tisn't behaving pretty, and it's no sign of yuur being a gentleman's son to do it.

Lou. und Lnq. Bunded Judgment. Tho Irreligious man, while prospered in his affairs, believes I bo world with all that it contains was made fur his guod; and as he can hardly rank himself with tho righteous in the bible senre, ho is ready to disbelieve the declaration of Cud that thcro is no peaco to the wicked. He may flatter himself that his own experience is convincing proof that Ibis declaration is not true. Hut who is right in this mailer, he or his Creator! Without appealing lo the testimony of scripture, let Ihe providential government of tho word, along with the real experience of the wicked, decide tho point. .Must plainly it it manifest, that the changing aspects and diversified e cnts, so constantly witnessed in this stato of being, are nut intended to be subservient to the interests and happiness of the ungodly. Tho design of God in I hem may be seen to be against the peace, tlie tranquil enjoyment of those who withhold from him their hcarls, and forget or despise his name. He has poured poison into cvory stream of sensual plcasurn, and torn away the basis, from all merely human hope; he has converted the rewards of unrighteousness into a curso, and planted slings in the guilty conscience, and thrown fearful visions across the pathway of the gay and careless; he permits disappointment and sickness and death to make havoc of the brightest expectations and consumo Ihe loveliest forms, torture and tear asunder the dearest connections. Surely, (he doing and the per mission ol all tins on the part uf Und cannnt confirm tho irreligious in his belief that the wurl.l was mado and is governed fur his trnod and that his forbidden enjoyments and hopes are permanently to increase ami nrigiiien. Human, experience, both in tho bosom of the righteous and Ihe wicked, is direct proof of the scripture declarations. From Ilia Old Countryman.

Mr. Poindexter made the following REPORT: The Committee on Public Lands, to whom was referred sundry resolutions of tlie Senute, instructing thesnid committee to inquire whether any fraudulent practices to the injury of the public interest, had taken pluce in the sules of the public lands nt public or privnte sale, by means of combinations or companies of individuals interdicting by unlawful means a fair compelition between bidders for the pub-lie lands; and generally to inquire into the conduct of Ihe officers of the United States charged with superintending tho sales of said lands, and of the agents appointed by the President of the U. Stutes to locate Indian reservations, under the treaties with the Creek, C'hnctnw, and Chickasaw tribes of Indians; and into the Irauds, if nnv, which may have been committed in the purchase or sale of said reservations; which committco, nnd the chuirman thereof, were authorized by tlie said resolutions lo send for persons and papers, and grant commissions to take the depositions of witnesses whose attendance could not be had before the committee, have pro ceeded, so fur as practicable to execute the duties assigned to them by tho Senate, and beg leave to submit the following report, in part: That tho great extent of country over which the public lundsnre spread, and the numerous districts into which it has been divided by law, fur the convenience of tlie purchasers thereot ut public or privato sale, rendered the investi gations which the committee were instructed to make, tedious and dilncult, anu in some cases impracticable; but every thing has been done which vigilance and industry could effect to overcome these obstacles, and u volume ol tes timony has been obtained, which is herewith presented to the Senate, subject to such order as Ihe Semite may think it proper to adopt in relation lo it. It appears by the reports of tho commissioners appointed to take depositions in several land districts, that most of the persons who have been large purchasers ol the public lands, in connexion with combinations or companies of speculators, who were summoned to give testimony concerning the frauds practiced by such companies, have either declined or positively refused to appear before the commission ers und testily. Hence the evidenco is much more imperfect than it would have been u these persons could huvo been compelled to obey the summons issued under the authority of the Sen- uto. Muny of tho speculators were persons filling Inch ollices in the blutes in winch the pub lic lunds purchased by them are situated, and others possessing wealth und influence, all of whom naturally united to render this investign tion odious among the people; and in this mun ncr influenced numerous witnesses to refuse their testimony to facts within their knowledge, touching the matters into which tho committee have been instructed lo inquire. In some instances tho commissioners wore threatened with personal violence, to deter them from the performance of their duties, and all who testified wero denounced nnd put in fcur by the powurlul combinations whose conduct was the subject of scrutiny. In the district of lands sub ject to sale at Choccuma, in Mississippi, the life ol u person, acting as commissioner, was at tempted; which however fuiled, and the assailant full a victim to his own rash act. Tho committee have adverted to theso circumstances to show the causes which have produced tho de lays in closing the examination uf the witnesses, and the means employed to prevent a full deve lopment orthe Iruuds which have so extensively prevailed in certain quarters in the sulus of the public lands, which havo resulted to the great injury of the public interests, and of the poor emigrant who desired to purchase- a home for himself and family, iho committee have withheld their report to the latest period of the session, iu tho hope that all the evidence might be received, to enuhlo them to bring tho investigation to a final determination; but in this they have been disappointed. Many of the commissioners have not returned the depositions taken by them, and therefore the report must necessarily leave the subject open to Ihe ac'ion of Congress. The committee do not propose to enter into a tedious detail of the evidenco before them, as it w ill accompany their report, nnd may be rend una understood by all who desire to inform themselves of the frauds which it discloses. They will barely present a summary o. .no gencru. ennrucer o, ineso frauds, and recommend such remedies as nmy seem to be best adapted to the correction of them i- , : .i in future. It appears to tho committee thai.tho piusi'ii, Baii:in VI itma lui mo ui3moui ,m tnj lauds of tho United States is fully adequate to the protection of tho public interests und pri. vato rights; and the only medium through which frauds of nny kind cun be practiced, is in tho mul-udministrulion of the laws by the officers who are entrusted with the superintendence of the sales of theso lands. That all the mischiefs which have been so loudly complained of are to be traced to those whose duty it is to execute tho laws, the voltinio of evidence now submitted lo the Senate fully proves. Tho first step necessary to the success of every schema of speculation in tho public lands, is to corrupt Ihe land officers, by n secret understanding between the parlies that they are to receive a certain proportion of the profits, nnd thut point being gained, every diflcuhy to the consummation of their plan ol operations may bo removed, with-out the hazard of detection. These officers hold their commissions at the will of the President of the United Slatee; and for causes such us have existed for several yoars past, and are believed now to exist, they ought in many districts to be removed from office; but the facility with which they may participate in frauds of the groulcst enormity without detec. tion, acting ostensibly under the name of nnolh. er, and binding their associates to secrecy, and also the undue confidence often reposed in a po. iiticnl favorite or personal friend by the Chief .Magistrate, too irrquently protect olliccrs who violate the laws, from punishment, and thereby the public interests susiain injuries to an extern which cannot be accurately eslimated. All these things have occurred for the Inst three or four years in districts where the most atlrocious and outrageous Irauds have been committed, as will abunduntly appear from the testimony which accompanies this report. No officer has been removed for these causes; but the most guilty of them huve been re-appointed from time to time; until they have become bold nnd fearless in their course, well knowing how to retain iheir places nnd peculate on the public proper ly. Theso delects are not in the law, but in its administration; nnd the remedy, if any, must be found in future legislation, applicable to the existing stato of things. The committee have received but little evi dence of fruuds committed or tolerated by the hind offices northwest of tho river Ohio. 1 hese may nevertheless exist; but as no strong rep resentations have been made on the subject, commissions for taking testimony hnve been sent only into the district of Zanesville, Ohio. The evidence Irom that quarter shows a lew cases oi luvoritism in tlie entry ol lands at private sale; and, at one time the practice generally prevailed ofnwkin;: the land offices depositories of scrip, receivable in payment of the pub ic lands, in which a system of speculation was carried on by the several registers and receivers, in a man ner, and undor circumstances deserving the se verest censure of the Government and the pco pie. The lute register at Zanesville was most deeply implicated in these speculations ana otn er mal-practices. Ho wus rebuked by tho Senate by the rejection of his nomination for reappointment; and with this exception, it is believed that the sales of the public lunds in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and the Territory of Michigan are fairly made according lo law Tho Stutes of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisi ana, have been the principal theatre of specula lions and frauds in buying up the public lands, and dividing the most enormous prohts between the members oi the dillerent companies oi spec ulators. The committee reler to the depositions of numerous respectable witnesses to uttest the various ramifications of these speculations nnd frauds, and the means by which they have been carried into etleot. J. hat these deposi tions fall fur short of the whole truth, on the subjecls to which they relate, the committee cannot doubt Irom the relusul oi tne parties con corned to appear and testily bulore the commis sioners, or to answer interrogatories. From Alu bama, the testimony is yet incomplete, and much more may be expected prior to tiio next session of Congress. 11 nppears, however, thut an or gnnized bund of speculators has been formed in thut Stuto, with a lurgn capital on which im mense purchases havo been made of tho public lands and Indinn reservations in the tracts of country lately ceded to the United States by the Creek, Chocktaw, und Chickasaw tribes of Indians. The first proclamation of the President for the sales of lands acquired from tho Creek Indians, by tho late treaty with that tribe, was promulgated only four weeks bclore the sale took pluce; and, consequently, the inhabitants of thut country had no opportunity of procuring the necessary lunds to purchase the small truets of land which they had settled nnd cultivated; nor, indeed, did they know, with a few exceptions, when or where the sules took place. It nppears from the testimony of Magru- dcr, one of the commissioners for locating the Indian reservations in that country, that none but speculators attended ihoso sales and mado purchases, and thut so great wore tlie saenhecs made in the sales for the want of bidders, that a sin"lo section wus bid off at about eight hundred dollars by the agent of a company, nnd sold off the next day lor as many thousand dollars ns it had cost the purchaser hundreds. J. Ins case is selected as nn example of whut had occurred at these sules. The committee at the last session reported a bill to prohibit sules under these short notices, which was passed into a law, and there fore n like proceeding in favor of speculators cannot again occur. In Mississippi the most extensive speculations and frauds huvo been practiced, and the commmittce proceed to state tho character ol them under gcncrul ncails, re ferrtng to the testimony for more enlarged spe cifications. The Mount Salus Land Officers. 1. The register and receiver at this land office, George Gwin and George P. Damnrson, were notoriously engaged in extensive speculations in the lunds of the United Stutes. In order to secure '.ho most vuluahle tracts of land, of which they became possessed of accurate information by their official stations, they marked every such tract with the the letter S; so thnt if any person wishing to purchase should apply for cither ol the tracts thus marked, tho appiiennt was in formed that the tract wus previously entered and in this manner it remained unsold until they, or either of them, could muko a suituble profit uj by prtvata sale, or found It convenient to pay mininul ; nn( oblin a finu, corlinclltt. f has0- Thosuni() pruclice lvs likewise . ' , , , r nn rl;nlli!irlinri: vit.ils who wnr,. ,,, ' rriel)ds or llV0riles of lhoso ofRcerSi nml who had not the means to make prompt payment. It appears by the depositions of the present re ceivcr in that district, Summerul, who is shown by tho evidenco to be an honest, upright mun, and a futlhlul public ollicer, thut at the timo ho took possession of his office thcro were numerous tracts of land marked on the map with tho letter S, which had not been sold, nnd which hnve since been opened to entry at privuto sale. Tho number of tracts so marked is stated at ubout two hundred, 2. Theso officers wore in the constant hnbit of selling the public lands to applicants on credit, exueting Irom the purchasers a sepa rate nolo as a noses, or interest, on the nomiuul amount of the purchnso moncv, which theynp prnpriuted to their own use, and signed a receipt to tho purchaser only when the money nnd in torest were paid, and in the menntimo tho tract thus Iruudule'illy sold wus marked with the let- tor S, to prevent persons from making npphca tion to enter it. The luw requires that the lands of the United Stutes should be sold for reudy money only. 3. These officers appear on the sale books to hnve become the purchasers of lands in their own names, contrary to tho express provisions of the law. 4. They stnnd charged, by the testimony of mnny witnesses, with gross purttuhir nnd luvor- ili.-m between the upplicunls for the same tract of land, and with other devices highly vexatious to individuals who might incur their displeasure, nnd injurious to the interests ol Ihe Government. How fur these or like derelictions of duty, in violation of law, have taken place in other districts in that State or elsewhere, will more fully appear by an inspection of Ihe evidence. The No. committee, however, aeem it aue to justice 10 stato, that the present land officers at Mount Su- lus District have done much to relorm the aou. ses previously existing there, and these offices are now conducted with strict honesty and legal propriety. lite L-noccnuma uismci. Samuel Gwin was transferred to this office, as register, Irom Mount onlus. J he committee will not enter into a detail ot the pronignie scenes which took place in this district at the sales which opened in October, 1833, and which have continued to characterize the conduct ol tho register who controls the salts at privute entry up to tho present time. The evidence portrays greater enormities ut this oliice than u. believed to have occurred iu any time in any land district in tho United Stutes. To this evi deuce the committee beg leave to refer the Senate. It appears that three or more extensive companies of speculators met at these sales, who, in a very short time ulter tho sules opened, uni led for the purpose of monopolizing all ihe good lands then offered at public sule, of overuwinii bidders, and driving nil competition out ol the market. I hese objects were fully accomplish ed by certain articles of ugreement entered into between the respective companies, a part ol which have been published by a principal part. ner and neent of these companies. Among the extraordinary fucts which tho testimony dis closes in relation to this combination, aro Ihe fol lowing: 1. That the atrent of the company undertook to diclale terms to the actual settlers, and claim to themselves great credit fur having; permitted each occupant to purchase, or to purchase themselves fur him, on certain conditions, a tract not exceeding one quarter section, at the mm imum prico of the Government, to inclrde his improvements provided each settler should not bid at public sale fur any other land. This privilege was granted by permission of the cum D.inv of speculators, and tho agents were em ploved to carry the same into effect, which tlicy accordingly did. All refused to enter into this arrangement, and l lie y wero but few, had no other alternative but to bid against tlie large capitalists, of which tho company was compos ed. and purchase his land at a high price; but the iuslanl he submitted to the authority of the company, his improvements were secured to him at one dollar and twenty-five ceuls per aero. Ouc of the ogentt boasted that he had passed a pro-cinption law in effect which had been rejected ny congress. Thus it will be seen that the laws were sot at defiance; and a body of men, combined fur the avowed pui poso of speculating on the Government, permitted by the officers superintending these talcs to dictate terms lo bidders, to break down all competition, and even lo arrogate to thoinselves the power of granting pre-emptions to actual settlers. Theso facts are well calcula ted tu excite tho indignant feelings of the people of these Stales, and ought to claim tho serious consideration of congress. The evidence further demonstrates that three-fourths ol Ihe valuable cotton lauds sold nt Clioccliuma, in October lboj, were purchased bv the agents of the spec ulators atone dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, witli the exception of a few tracts which were purchased at a higher rate. 11 lurtlicrap pears that the company established an oflico in the vicinity of the registers olhce, at wind tlioy opened on eauh day, a regular sale of tlie lands purchased by lliem at putilic sale, and al this company salo, all were permitted In bid who thought proper; but at Iho public sales, the company claimed and actually ciilurccd a cum pleto monopoly. All this was dune in cpen dav und could not be unknown lo the olliccrs of Government who superintended tho sales, and who e it lie r connived at or participated in these fraudulent transactions. 1'or a specification ol particular cases of violation oflaw, or manifest partiality on tho part of Ihe ollicers charged Willi Ihe solemn duty of guarding and prutect lug the interest of the United States, the com iniltoe refer to the despusilions on the files of the .jenalo. Tho Committeo perceive by the evidence that the same scenes weie acled over at the sales which look place at Columbus in (ho same year, and therefore decline entering into a detailed account of them. Tho Commissioner uf the General Land Ullice, iu reply to a call of the Senate, made a report, by which it will be seen that all the lamlt in that year at Ihe offices uf Chocchiima and Lulumbus, wero inonnpohzsd by the speculators, generally at the minimum price uf Ihe tiuvernmeut; and by the same report it np pears thut in one year the 1'rcsident of the Uni ted Males caused to bo ottered at public salo in Mississippi alone, between sevcu and oight millions of acres, comprising the best lands in that great collun region. The comiuillco arc uf opinion that this quantity of land thrown in to market within so short a period of tune, is unprecedented iu tho hislury of this Govern ment, and is highly prejudicial to Ihe public interest. It must he obvious lo every ono acquainted with tho progress which has boen made in the sales of tho public lauds, that tlie lido of omi oration into any one of Iho new Stales, and es pecially the Southern Stales would not require the quanli'y ul land for cultivation which has been put in market by the order of Iho President, in .Mississippi, for the period of fifteen or twonty yean. J ho result it inevitable small portion uf the lands thus olfurcd will be sold al public sale, where compelition might be expected; and immediately alter tho sales arc closed, tint vast body ot laud, consisting uf millions of acres, will become subject toonlry al the minimum price. Companies ul speculators, with an al nost unbounded capital, will forthwith employ agents tu explore tho lands remaining tiutuld; anil every vaiuanto spot win tie entered, at tho very inadequate prico uf ono dollar and twenty-five cenlt per acre. Ihetterilo land alone will remain subject to entry by the euii grating population at the land offices, whilo all the guod lands will he held by companies, who caniiol be induced to part, with them, except at a prico at least equivalent to their actual value.

Had there been a little less of the divine . . 1 i - .. ..e .r: -.1. essence ul poesy mmgieu in me tiay wmuu Percy SmiliX was composed, it would have been the belter fur him. The crockery of his constitution would have been more adapted to the household uses of this kitchen world; and, as fate did not cast his lot so ll.ut he could move in the "higher circles," Percy has not much reason to regret the error uf his making up. The poctio temperament may cover a multitude of sins, but it is not often accused of covering a multitude uf back, nor of bringing a imilli-uJe of grist to the griuders. Its presence may too often be discovered by judications of a con trary nature. VViiile the mind is clothing its varied fancies iu at tire, and the spirit is gnmhul ing and luiuriating in the clover and timothy of ; : ...;,l ,l,nnain n r Afiirnir (')mm. llliagiuauuii u, m....-...6 v. ...... pague punch, and eating canvass backs, in air-drawn palaces; the outward man is too often encountering the melancholy reverse of all these unreal delights. He may be, perhaps on a culd winter day, leaning his back against a post, on the sunny side uf tlie street; his hands for lack of coin, tilling his capacious pockets; his curiuus toes peeping out at crannies, to see the world, au a 111 in 0111 cut forbidden to the tnes of richer men, and his elbow,- and bis knees following the example of his lower extremities. Distress or mine other potent cause has, in all probahili ty transplanted the roses from the garden of his clieett to that sterile promontory uis nuse, nuu his chin sl.owr just such a stubble as would be in valuable for the polishing brush of a boot black A man like this portrait, has the force of nature and uf circumstances made Percy Sinilax. His commencement iu life was nut a very lufly one, but he has, by laboriously doing nothing, except iciibhluur auJ indulging in draughts of a certain preparation of alcohol, contrived to descend to tlie lowest 'rung ol tlie lauuor anu 10 laae ins teat on the eruund. hut what cares Siinilaxl lie would not exchange tlie unchecked corruscations of his freuius. which dicker and Hare like the Aurora Borealis. for a "whole wilderness" of comfort if it were necessary that he should entertain dull, heavy thoughts, and make himself "generally useful." He is gifted with the poetic tempera ineut and it would be to abuse his vocation to desert it. Can he nut warm his hands at the fire of imagination, darn his clothes with the needle of his wit, wash his countenance and his lincu iu the waters of Helicon; and sitting on the peak of Parnassus devour the fried oysters of hi fancy with Appollo and the muses! Ccr-tanly he can and he dues. Hut as somebody writes, Appollo himself cannnt always be twanging with the lung bow, and even Percy Suiilax lias bis momenta of despondency which he endeavors to counteract by the cheapest Ionic iu his reach. Despising liahneinanu and homoeopathy, he opposes his disease, and sucks in coun teraction iu due proportion to the viuleuce of the case. In a stato of "counteraction," he lately wan-Avrad throuirh the streets, until ho arrived at the market where sealed on a stall, he looked, and "from his lofty seal he thus began:" "How darkly, deeply, beautifully blue not moiitif I mean the expanse of ether. The alars too, winking at me through the curtain of the air, like a jolly nurse to a tirod infant at much as to say, hush a-by-bahy to a wearied world. Even the craggincss of care looks like rock-candy in the moonshine. Night is a Car-thagenian Hannibal to sorrow, pours vinegar upon ilt mountains, melts them down, and buried hope pops up relieved. Daylight may do for the gay, but the night for me. What matter! it whether you are ragged at night! Nothing. Night is the world's Spanish cloak and it iu covers the meanest that he looks like a gentleman."Talking; of guns, I'm not so slow in the ideas line to-nigbi; but it ain't of much use, for I've no pencil, not even a piece of chalk to write 'em down for my next poem. It t a pity you can't tie ideas up in yuur pocket handkerchief, or string 'em on a stick like catfish. I've many a time bad the must beautiful notions racing through my head liko kittens, but they were all lust lor want of a trap an intellectual figgery fuur." The eloauence of Smilax had its effect. In the heavy shadow of a neighboring pillar, a dark mass appeared to move and detach itself, as if a portiou of the gloom bad hecdme suddenly animated. It stepped forth in the likeness of a man. mysteriously wrapped up, whoso eyes glar ed fiercely upon the poet. Smilax stared in ailence, and they confronted each other for tome moments without uttering a word. A dark cloud hurrying across tlie uiuun lent addi tional terror to the scene; and to the visiun of fcmilax the unknown appeared to swell to a tiinerhumao sixe. The stranger at length waved Lis arm, hemmed thrice, and in the deep tunes of one used to command, said "It's cloarly again the ordination in that case made and provided, in an act supplementary to an act additional to an act, entilod an aol fur the suppression of loafers." "Ah met what act," said the astonished Smi lax. "To fetch Yourself to an anchor on the stalls, Tisn't behaving pretty, and it's no sign of yuur being a gentleman's son to do it. You might at well tit on a soup tureen at dinnor time." "01.! it that all. I'm in tweet communion with my own desolate affections. I'm immersed in poetic conceptions. Dun't interrupt. Leave me to the luxuriance of imagination." "What! on mutton butcher's shamhlcsl I can't think of it for a moment. Cume, strap on your skatet, and strikeout. It it necessary for you to tathay across that is my lad of wax, if you can balansay, which I doubt, fur your tongue's at thick at the mainmast of a sovenly-four.' Excuse me. I don't see that it makes much differeuoe to yuil whether 1 sashay and balansay or not. But it does to me, The spring weather hat thawed out my ideas, and I feel as if I would shortly compose an ode to Nox and Erebus.""It's nothing to you what's owed to Nox and Erolins. The firm can take care of their own butinett. And if you wont dance, at 1 want you, why we'll twing corners." So saying, the roluntlcss Charley commenced making preparations for removing the deposit, and took hold of the reluctant puet by tho col lar. " Now don't; my coat it in delicate health and can't bear rough usage. II you pull, you'll br a rip-tearer in a moment, and I've gol no inonej to watt on buying a new one. llesidet, I in delicate at my coat; if my nervet are ditcom-bobberated, who'll treat to settle 'em!" 30, 1835. "Vhy what are jou driving at!" "I'm a poet I tell you, and trifles put mo out, fur we poets are not made like Charlies. We must sometimes take a little to keep up a tone to tuno up our fiddle strings to concert pitch. "Oh oh! you make it a practice then to get resumed, do you! a riglar grog bruiser." "INonsense; don t bo gross. We are tree souls, tremulous fabrics, that vibrate to every breath of the circumambient air trembling and sighing, liko Eoliau harps, in tho breeze of passing events." "Hey diddle, diddle! Is that Pnrtcgee or Al giers you are talking!" 'Neither it s pure dictionary I.nglisb. But of our own affairs.

"Is it optional, .11 r. vv ide-awnue! ' "I don't know, hut it's finable and that's as "Then I shall decline (he honor." "No yuu don't, Susan. I only axed out of politeness. You must rise up, W illiam Kiley and come along with me, as the old tong says Dance!" "I suppose I mii9t whether I like tho figure or not." "Yes: right and left two gentlemen for ward swing corners, and sashay to places." "Alack and alas for tho poelic temperament!

The schoolmaster, who, ns Lord Urougiium tells us, lius been traveling exten-sively of luto yen is, uppeurs to huvo omitted in visit some purls of Nuw Jersey, owing, ns we verily ueleive, to tho hideous stories heretofore told of dancing u fellow up to the stumps at tlie five corners, utid to the four of being thumped to death by somu of those cluttor-liecl'd damsels tli ut thunder so wonderfully at Wooilbridge.

Lou. und Lnq. Bunded Judgment. Tho Irreligious man, while prospered in his affairs, believes I bo world with all that it contains was made fur his guod; and as he can hardly rank himself with tho righteous in the bible senre, ho is ready to disbelieve the declaration of Cud that thcro is no peaco to the wicked. He may flatter himself that his own experience is convincing proof that Ibis declaration is not true. Hut who is right in this mailer, he or his Creator! Without appealing lo the testimony of scripture, let Ihe providential government of tho word, along with the real experience of the wicked, decide tho point. .Must plainly it it manifest, that the changing aspects and diversified e cnts, so constantly witnessed in this stato of being, are nut intended to be subservient to the interests and happiness of the ungodly. Tho design of God in I hem may be seen to be against the peace, tlie tranquil enjoyment of those who withhold from him their hcarls, and forget or despise his name. He has poured poison into cvory stream of sensual plcasurn, and torn away the basis, from all merely human hope; he has converted the rewards of unrighteousness into a curso, and planted slings in the guilty conscience, and thrown fearful visions across the pathway of the gay and careless; he permits disappointment and sickness and death to make havoc of the brightest expectations and consumo Ihe loveliest forms, torture and tear asunder the dearest connections. Surely, (he doing and the per mission ol all tins on the part uf Und cannnt confirm tho irreligious in his belief that the wurl.l was mado and is governed fur his trnod and that his forbidden enjoyments and hopes are permanently to increase ami nrigiiien. Human, experience, both in tho bosom of the righteous and Ihe wicked, is direct proof of the scripture declarations. From Ilia Old Countryman.

Mr. Poindexter made the following REPORT: The Committee on Public Lands, to whom was referred sundry resolutions of tlie Senute, instructing thesnid committee to inquire whether any fraudulent practices to the injury of the public interest, had taken pluce in the sules of the public lands nt public or privnte sale, by means of combinations or companies of individuals interdicting by unlawful means a fair compelition between bidders for the pub-lie lands; and generally to inquire into the conduct of Ihe officers of the United States charged with superintending tho sales of said lands, and of the agents appointed by the President of the U. Stutes to locate Indian reservations, under the treaties with the Creek, C'hnctnw, and Chickasaw tribes of Indians; and into the Irauds, if nnv, which may have been committed in the purchase or sale of said reservations; which committco, nnd the chuirman thereof, were authorized by tlie said resolutions lo send for persons and papers, and grant commissions to take the depositions of witnesses whose attendance could not be had before the committee, have pro ceeded, so fur as practicable to execute the duties assigned to them by tho Senate, and beg leave to submit the following report, in part: That tho great extent of country over which the public lundsnre spread, and the numerous districts into which it has been divided by law, fur the convenience of tlie purchasers thereot ut public or privato sale, rendered the investi gations which the committee were instructed to make, tedious and dilncult, anu in some cases impracticable; but every thing has been done which vigilance and industry could effect to overcome these obstacles, and u volume ol tes timony has been obtained, which is herewith presented to the Senate, subject to such order as Ihe Semite may think it proper to adopt in relation lo it. It appears by the reports of tho commissioners appointed to take depositions in several land districts, that most of the persons who have been large purchasers ol the public lands, in connexion with combinations or companies of speculators, who were summoned to give testimony concerning the frauds practiced by such companies, have either declined or positively refused to appear before the commission ers und testily. Hence the evidenco is much more imperfect than it would have been u these persons could huvo been compelled to obey the summons issued under the authority of the Sen- uto. Muny of tho speculators were persons filling Inch ollices in the blutes in winch the pub lic lunds purchased by them are situated, and others possessing wealth und influence, all of whom naturally united to render this investign tion odious among the people; and in this mun ncr influenced numerous witnesses to refuse their testimony to facts within their knowledge, touching the matters into which tho committee have been instructed lo inquire. In some instances tho commissioners wore threatened with personal violence, to deter them from the performance of their duties, and all who testified wero denounced nnd put in fcur by the powurlul combinations whose conduct was the subject of scrutiny. In the district of lands sub ject to sale at Choccuma, in Mississippi, the life ol u person, acting as commissioner, was at tempted; which however fuiled, and the assailant full a victim to his own rash act. Tho committee have adverted to theso circumstances to show the causes which have produced tho de lays in closing the examination uf the witnesses, and the means employed to prevent a full deve lopment orthe Iruuds which have so extensively prevailed in certain quarters in the sulus of the public lands, which havo resulted to the great injury of the public interests, and of the poor emigrant who desired to purchase- a home for himself and family, iho committee have withheld their report to the latest period of the session, iu tho hope that all the evidence might be received, to enuhlo them to bring tho investigation to a final determination; but in this they have been disappointed. Many of the commissioners have not returned the depositions taken by them, and therefore the report must necessarily leave the subject open to Ihe ac'ion of Congress. The committee do not propose to enter into a tedious detail of the evidenco before them, as it w ill accompany their report, nnd may be rend una understood by all who desire to inform themselves of the frauds which it discloses. They will barely present a summary o. .no gencru. ennrucer o, ineso frauds, and recommend such remedies as nmy seem to be best adapted to the correction of them i- , : .i in future. It appears to tho committee thai.tho piusi'ii, Baii:in VI itma lui mo ui3moui ,m tnj lauds of tho United States is fully adequate to the protection of tho public interests und pri. vato rights; and the only medium through which frauds of nny kind cun be practiced, is in tho mul-udministrulion of the laws by the officers who are entrusted with the superintendence of the sales of theso lands. That all the mischiefs which have been so loudly complained of are to be traced to those whose duty it is to execute tho laws, the voltinio of evidence now submitted lo the Senate fully proves. Tho first step necessary to the success of every schema of speculation in tho public lands, is to corrupt Ihe land officers, by n secret understanding between the parlies that they are to receive a certain proportion of the profits, nnd thut point being gained, every diflcuhy to the consummation of their plan ol operations may bo removed, with-out the hazard of detection. These officers hold their commissions at the will of the President of the United Slatee; and for causes such us have existed for several yoars past, and are believed now to exist, they ought in many districts to be removed from office; but the facility with which they may participate in frauds of the groulcst enormity without detec. tion, acting ostensibly under the name of nnolh. er, and binding their associates to secrecy, and also the undue confidence often reposed in a po. iiticnl favorite or personal friend by the Chief .Magistrate, too irrquently protect olliccrs who violate the laws, from punishment, and thereby the public interests susiain injuries to an extern which cannot be accurately eslimated. All these things have occurred for the Inst three or four years in districts where the most atlrocious and outrageous Irauds have been committed, as will abunduntly appear from the testimony which accompanies this report. No officer has been removed for these causes; but the most guilty of them huve been re-appointed from time to time; until they have become bold nnd fearless in their course, well knowing how to retain iheir places nnd peculate on the public proper ly. Theso delects are not in the law, but in its administration; nnd the remedy, if any, must be found in future legislation, applicable to the existing stato of things. The committee have received but little evi dence of fruuds committed or tolerated by the hind offices northwest of tho river Ohio. 1 hese may nevertheless exist; but as no strong rep resentations have been made on the subject, commissions for taking testimony hnve been sent only into the district of Zanesville, Ohio. The evidence Irom that quarter shows a lew cases oi luvoritism in tlie entry ol lands at private sale; and, at one time the practice generally prevailed ofnwkin;: the land offices depositories of scrip, receivable in payment of the pub ic lands, in which a system of speculation was carried on by the several registers and receivers, in a man ner, and undor circumstances deserving the se verest censure of the Government and the pco pie. The lute register at Zanesville was most deeply implicated in these speculations ana otn er mal-practices. Ho wus rebuked by tho Senate by the rejection of his nomination for reappointment; and with this exception, it is believed that the sales of the public lunds in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and the Territory of Michigan are fairly made according lo law Tho Stutes of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisi ana, have been the principal theatre of specula lions and frauds in buying up the public lands, and dividing the most enormous prohts between the members oi the dillerent companies oi spec ulators. The committee reler to the depositions of numerous respectable witnesses to uttest the various ramifications of these speculations nnd frauds, and the means by which they have been carried into etleot. J. hat these deposi tions fall fur short of the whole truth, on the subjecls to which they relate, the committee cannot doubt Irom the relusul oi tne parties con corned to appear and testily bulore the commis sioners, or to answer interrogatories. From Alu bama, the testimony is yet incomplete, and much more may be expected prior to tiio next session of Congress. 11 nppears, however, thut an or gnnized bund of speculators has been formed in thut Stuto, with a lurgn capital on which im mense purchases havo been made of tho public lands and Indinn reservations in the tracts of country lately ceded to the United States by the Creek, Chocktaw, und Chickasaw tribes of Indians. The first proclamation of the President for the sales of lands acquired from tho Creek Indians, by tho late treaty with that tribe, was promulgated only four weeks bclore the sale took pluce; and, consequently, the inhabitants of thut country had no opportunity of procuring the necessary lunds to purchase the small truets of land which they had settled nnd cultivated; nor, indeed, did they know, with a few exceptions, when or where the sules took place. It nppears from the testimony of Magru- dcr, one of the commissioners for locating the Indian reservations in that country, that none but speculators attended ihoso sales and mado purchases, and thut so great wore tlie saenhecs made in the sales for the want of bidders, that a sin"lo section wus bid off at about eight hundred dollars by the agent of a company, nnd sold off the next day lor as many thousand dollars ns it had cost the purchaser hundreds. J. Ins case is selected as nn example of whut had occurred at these sules. The committee at the last session reported a bill to prohibit sules under these short notices, which was passed into a law, and there fore n like proceeding in favor of speculators cannot again occur. In Mississippi the most extensive speculations and frauds huvo been practiced, and the commmittce proceed to state tho character ol them under gcncrul ncails, re ferrtng to the testimony for more enlarged spe cifications. The Mount Salus Land Officers. 1. The register and receiver at this land office, George Gwin and George P. Damnrson, were notoriously engaged in extensive speculations in the lunds of the United Stutes. In order to secure '.ho most vuluahle tracts of land, of which they became possessed of accurate information by their official stations, they marked every such tract with the the letter S; so thnt if any person wishing to purchase should apply for cither ol the tracts thus marked, tho appiiennt was in formed that the tract wus previously entered and in this manner it remained unsold until they, or either of them, could muko a suituble profit uj by prtvata sale, or found It convenient to pay mininul ; nn( oblin a finu, corlinclltt. f has0- Thosuni() pruclice lvs likewise . ' , , , r nn rl;nlli!irlinri: vit.ils who wnr,. ,,, ' rriel)ds or llV0riles of lhoso ofRcerSi nml who had not the means to make prompt payment. It appears by the depositions of the present re ceivcr in that district, Summerul, who is shown by tho evidenco to be an honest, upright mun, and a futlhlul public ollicer, thut at the timo ho took possession of his office thcro were numerous tracts of land marked on the map with tho letter S, which had not been sold, nnd which hnve since been opened to entry at privuto sale. Tho number of tracts so marked is stated at ubout two hundred, 2. Theso officers wore in the constant hnbit of selling the public lands to applicants on credit, exueting Irom the purchasers a sepa rate nolo as a noses, or interest, on the nomiuul amount of the purchnso moncv, which theynp prnpriuted to their own use, and signed a receipt to tho purchaser only when the money nnd in torest were paid, and in the menntimo tho tract thus Iruudule'illy sold wus marked with the let- tor S, to prevent persons from making npphca tion to enter it. The luw requires that the lands of the United Stutes should be sold for reudy money only. 3. These officers appear on the sale books to hnve become the purchasers of lands in their own names, contrary to tho express provisions of the law. 4. They stnnd charged, by the testimony of mnny witnesses, with gross purttuhir nnd luvor- ili.-m between the upplicunls for the same tract of land, and with other devices highly vexatious to individuals who might incur their displeasure, nnd injurious to the interests ol Ihe Government. How fur these or like derelictions of duty, in violation of law, have taken place in other districts in that State or elsewhere, will more fully appear by an inspection of Ihe evidence. The No. committee, however, aeem it aue to justice 10 stato, that the present land officers at Mount Su- lus District have done much to relorm the aou. ses previously existing there, and these offices are now conducted with strict honesty and legal propriety. lite L-noccnuma uismci. Samuel Gwin was transferred to this office, as register, Irom Mount onlus. J he committee will not enter into a detail ot the pronignie scenes which took place in this district at the sales which opened in October, 1833, and which have continued to characterize the conduct ol tho register who controls the salts at privute entry up to tho present time. The evidence portrays greater enormities ut this oliice than u. believed to have occurred iu any time in any land district in tho United Stutes. To this evi deuce the committee beg leave to refer the Senate. It appears that three or more extensive companies of speculators met at these sales, who, in a very short time ulter tho sules opened, uni led for the purpose of monopolizing all ihe good lands then offered at public sule, of overuwinii bidders, and driving nil competition out ol the market. I hese objects were fully accomplish ed by certain articles of ugreement entered into between the respective companies, a part ol which have been published by a principal part. ner and neent of these companies. Among the extraordinary fucts which tho testimony dis closes in relation to this combination, aro Ihe fol lowing: 1. That the atrent of the company undertook to diclale terms to the actual settlers, and claim to themselves great credit fur having; permitted each occupant to purchase, or to purchase themselves fur him, on certain conditions, a tract not exceeding one quarter section, at the mm imum prico of the Government, to inclrde his improvements provided each settler should not bid at public sale fur any other land. This privilege was granted by permission of the cum D.inv of speculators, and tho agents were em ploved to carry the same into effect, which tlicy accordingly did. All refused to enter into this arrangement, and l lie y wero but few, had no other alternative but to bid against tlie large capitalists, of which tho company was compos ed. and purchase his land at a high price; but the iuslanl he submitted to the authority of the company, his improvements were secured to him at one dollar and twenty-five ceuls per aero. Ouc of the ogentt boasted that he had passed a pro-cinption law in effect which had been rejected ny congress. Thus it will be seen that the laws were sot at defiance; and a body of men, combined fur the avowed pui poso of speculating on the Government, permitted by the officers superintending these talcs to dictate terms lo bidders, to break down all competition, and even lo arrogate to thoinselves the power of granting pre-emptions to actual settlers. Theso facts are well calcula ted tu excite tho indignant feelings of the people of these Stales, and ought to claim tho serious consideration of congress. The evidence further demonstrates that three-fourths ol Ihe valuable cotton lauds sold nt Clioccliuma, in October lboj, were purchased bv the agents of the spec ulators atone dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, witli the exception of a few tracts which were purchased at a higher rate. 11 lurtlicrap pears that the company established an oflico in the vicinity of the registers olhce, at wind tlioy opened on eauh day, a regular sale of tlie lands purchased by lliem at putilic sale, and al this company salo, all were permitted In bid who thought proper; but at Iho public sales, the company claimed and actually ciilurccd a cum pleto monopoly. All this was dune in cpen dav und could not be unknown lo the olliccrs of Government who superintended tho sales, and who e it lie r connived at or participated in these fraudulent transactions. 1'or a specification ol particular cases of violation oflaw, or manifest partiality on tho part of Ihe ollicers charged Willi Ihe solemn duty of guarding and prutect lug the interest of the United States, the com iniltoe refer to the despusilions on the files of the .jenalo. Tho Committeo perceive by the evidence that the same scenes weie acled over at the sales which look place at Columbus in (ho same year, and therefore decline entering into a detailed account of them. Tho Commissioner uf the General Land Ullice, iu reply to a call of the Senate, made a report, by which it will be seen that all the lamlt in that year at Ihe offices uf Chocchiima and Lulumbus, wero inonnpohzsd by the speculators, generally at the minimum price uf Ihe tiuvernmeut; and by the same report it np pears thut in one year the 1'rcsident of the Uni ted Males caused to bo ottered at public salo in Mississippi alone, between sevcu and oight millions of acres, comprising the best lands in that great collun region. The comiuillco arc uf opinion that this quantity of land thrown in to market within so short a period of tune, is unprecedented iu tho hislury of this Govern ment, and is highly prejudicial to Ihe public interest. It must he obvious lo every ono acquainted with tho progress which has boen made in the sales of tho public lauds, that tlie lido of omi oration into any one of Iho new Stales, and es pecially the Southern Stales would not require the quanli'y ul land for cultivation which has been put in market by the order of Iho President, in .Mississippi, for the period of fifteen or twonty yean. J ho result it inevitable small portion uf the lands thus olfurcd will be sold al public sale, where compelition might be expected; and immediately alter tho sales arc closed, tint vast body ot laud, consisting uf millions of acres, will become subject toonlry al the minimum price. Companies ul speculators, with an al nost unbounded capital, will forthwith employ agents tu explore tho lands remaining tiutuld; anil every vaiuanto spot win tie entered, at tho very inadequate prico uf ono dollar and twenty-five cenlt per acre. Ihetterilo land alone will remain subject to entry by the euii grating population at the land offices, whilo all the guod lands will he held by companies, who caniiol be induced to part, with them, except at a prico at least equivalent to their actual value. In this manner the Government has al ready sustained hoavy losses, the extent of which it it dilncult to ascertain; the emigrant it thrown on tha mercy of tho speculator, and the actual cultivation of the watte lands retarded to an indoGnite period of time. The committee forbear to enlarge on the numerous interesting factt brought to light by tho investigation with which they have been charged; il.ey conttnt themselves with having made Ihe foregoing summary, and herewith report a bill, providing as far as practicable, against Iho recurrence of t milar fraudt and combinations in tho talcs of public lands.
